This completely new Resolve version 17 course, targeted towards users who have been using the previous version of the software, aims to get you quickly up to speed with the new version and gain key insights into the software. Lessons include backing up and importing your database, DaVinci YRGB Color Managed workflow, HDR tools, Magic Mask,  the Color Warper and lots of really useful updates.

Blackmagic Design are always innovating and expanding their software, making it hard for working colorists to stay up to date with the new features. So if you’ve been using previous versions of Resolve, this is the course for you!

The V17 course includes more than two hours of class instructional movies and over 17GB of source footage so you can follow along with the course.

In addition, purchasers of Warren’s training will receive access to our private fxphd Slack discussion channels.

This training is exclusively available for standalone purchase in the fxphd store and is not available as part of the fxphd membership.

If you want to start pitching better and bigger projects then Resolve 17 Insights will give you the tools to make you both more creative, confident and faster. In today’s competitive market you need to say yes to your clients. The more you say “I can do that” the more likely you’ll be to get the next project. If you are an experienced Resolve user you’ll get plenty from these classes, since it’s all new for version 17. There might even be an older feature that you didn’t know existed.

Description

An intermediate/advanced course for experienced users

This course assumes you have already been color correcting with a previous version of Resolve and want to see what the new version 17 has to offer. If you haven’t previously used Resolve, check out our Resolve 17 Fundamentals and Intermediate Resolve 17 courses.

Footage provided with the course

You can follow the classes using the same techniques on the same footage as Warren uses. It is a mixture of footage, including Arri Alexa, Blackmagic URSA Mini, RED R3D, plus DJI Drone and problem clips.

Why take this course?

Warren explains the new features and shows why you do something not just how to do something. It is easy to continue with your current workflow and this includes using an older version of Resolve. This course will show how to save your projects and databases before upgrading. I’ll explain the new features and how best to use them. Warren’s aim is to give you a very rounded view of not only the new version 17 software release and how he uses it, but  also grading in general.
